3. VISIT RECORD

Pic1 - Worker Accommodation

The Contractor must guarantee safety conditions on site for his workers, but it is also the responsibility of the workers to
make proper use of them when they have the means and equipment to carry out their work safely. The Contractor must
assess the state of knowledge of workers who inadvertently expose themselves to risk, when they have the necessary
means to carry out the work safely.
To ensure that events like this do not happen again and again, it is important to consolidate a safety culture from the
technicians right up to the top management.
The Contractor must carry out an awareness-raising session for all Project workers on the subject of working at heights.

Pic2 - Assembly of Tower Crane

When assembling the crane sections, the following must be checked:

• the positioning of the lifting equipment and its capacity
• the positioning of the workers involved in the activity.
When assembling the crane, workers must place their feet at points that prevent slipping, particularly in areas where
crossbars meet.
In this situation, workers are within the perimeter of the section to be placed, without being properly safeguarded against
any unforeseen movement of the suspended load and without being properly anchored.
The Contractor must carry out an awareness-raising session for all Project workers on the subject of working at heights.

Every ladder:
a) shall be securely fixed so that it cannot move from its top and bottom points of rest; or

Pic5 and 6 - Tower Crane assembly

The contractor began assembling the tower crane without the safety conditions being met:
• No Critical Lifting Plan was drawn up.
• Delimitation of the radius of action area was scarce and with little distance.
• There was work on the old jetty and the passage zone for these workers was not defined, so they had to pass
within the crane's radius of action.
This activity led to the opening of non-conformity no. 1.002/24 H&S.
